This vulnerability is due to improper handling of network requests by affected devices configured to use object group search. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted network request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass access control list (ACL) rules on the device, bypass security protections, and send network traffic to unauthorized hosts.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-755","CWE-183"],"references":["https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-asaftd-rule-bypass-ejjOgQEY","https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-asaftd-rule-bypass-ejjOgQEY"],"products":["cisco:adaptive_security_appliance","cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software","cisco:asa_5505_firmware","cisco:asa_5512-x_firmware","cisco:asa_5515-x_firmware","cisco:asa_5525-x_firmware","cisco:asa_5545-x_firmware","cisco:asa_5555-x_firmware","cisco:asa_5580_firmware","cisco:asa_5585-x_firmware","cisco:secure_firewall_threat_defense"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:24:39.218183596+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2021-34787","score":0.01045,"percentile":0.64165,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
